pegkerrI texted Fiona last week one morning to just say, 'just wanted to let you know your Mom loves you.' I immediately got a call, and a sleepy rueful voice on the other end of the line said, "You have no idea how well-timed that text was. I had just woken up and realized I had slept through my calculus class. For the second time this week."
"Oh, no!" I laughed.
She depends on her cell phone to wake her up, but the phone is slowly dying and so the alarm didn't go off. "You'd better go see your calculus teacher and find out what you missed. And grovel, while you're at it."
She groaned. "The worst thing is that we were doing review for the test we have on Monday."
Today, I got a voice mail from Fiona and I called her back. She proudly told me that she got 100.5% on her calculus test. (95% on the test, and ten extra credit points for turning in all her homework.) And on the linear algebra test she took the same day (yes, she is taking TWO math classes), she got 89%. No slouch.
I said I wouldn't advise her to sleep through her calculus classes in the future, although I'm sure the idea was tempting.
Oh, and she found another clock in her apartment that has an alarm on it. She says it is REALLY LOUD. Which is good, because Fiona is not a morning person.
